FAMACHA training coming up in SC

http://southerngoatproducers.org/

This is a seminar for sheep and goat producers. It's aimed mostly at goats, but a lot of the topics pertain to sheep as well and they are offering FAMACHA certification for free. I am going! Hope I'll get to meet some of you there.

for those who don't know what FAMACHA is, it's a method of monitoring your livestock for parasites. I know of a lot of folks who use this method rather than routinely deworming their stock and are really happy with the results.

I use it, and I only worm when the eyes tell me too.
I havent been to a class though, but it's real easy.
